Greetings all lovers of Combat Flight Simulations. It is clear that the community is excited about this project , and I am encouraged that the designers are seeking input from the community prior to the release. There is a lot of knowledge , experience , and dedication in this community , and in my opinion , such as it is worth , this is a resource commonly overlooked in bringing out a new product. I too am excited , and hopeful that the trap of making the game look great does not take precedence over the thoughts , energy and resources that go into the game design and replayability , as is so often the case in contemporary video game design. I also hope that the current practice of pay by chunk can be managed better than in other online games. I know this is a difficult balance , because of course the designers , artists and programmers all deserve to be rewarded to a fair degree for their time and care , but the concept of better aircraft ( and other vehicles ) by purchase amount is not a worthy option , and any game that follows this practice will never get my money , and I think a lot of the community will agree with this sentiment. I paid for each and every flight sim I have flown over the years , despite many of them being made available by other methods , and will do the same provided that the previous model is not followed. Sorry for being a downer here , I am really pleased to see this project arise and I hope to support it for a long time. Best of luck to the team , and I look forward eagerly to your product.
